    How many drug addicts don’t distance themselves from drugs? Why would this be any different?

      I mean I know a fair share of people who did manage to quit smoking. Or cut down on weed or alcohol. Especially after things went sideways for them… So… Both is possible and being demonstrated by people each day. I mean you’re certainly right. It ain’t easy to do some self reflecting and stay away from addictive things. Requires motivation, mental strength and a good amount of effort. Just saying… because it’s good not to portray it as if resignation and drugs were people’s only option…
